0:00 The year's 2022. I'm in the gym. It's like 3:00 p.m. after my university class. I'm just having a normal workout when all of a sudden I see one of my mate. Let's just call him Rick for this video's sake. Now, I see Rick and he's got this really just weird, odd look on his face as if he wants to tell me something really odd. And I'm preparing for what this could be. And he comes up to me and goes, "Hey bro, Manish, would you like to come to my mate's house tonight? I think it would be really fun for you to be there." And I'm super keen cuz low-key I'm a bit of a lonely guy, but little did I know what I just accepted was going to be one of the weirdest experiences I have ever had. And so the next thing you know, bro, is I'm pretty much in Rick's car driving
0:47 over to this friend's house. And so I ask Rick, "So, I mean, who is this friend of yours exactly, right?" And he goes, "Oh yeah, she and I have been friends for a while." And I'm just thinking, "Wait, oh, she? Oh, it's a girl? I mean, I wasn't expecting it to be a girl." And then he goes, [music] "Yeah, that's a She's actually um she's actually my ex." And then I'm like, "What the [ __ ] Wait, so Wait, why are we going to your ex's house? Wait, wait, this is your ex and you're friends with your ex still?" And he goes, "Yeah, us three have been friends for a long time still. Like, I mean, we've been friends." And I'm like, "Who's us three? You mean me?" And he goes, "No, no, no, not you. Um her new boyfriend."
1:34 And so I'm like, "What the [ __ ] So, you're telling me, Rick, that we're driving over to your ex's house who you're still friends with and apparently you're also friends with her new boyfriend. Am I hearing this correctly?" And he just [music] goes, "Yeah." >> [laughter] >> I'm just thinking in my head like, "What the hell? I would never in a million years like allow my girlfriend to still be friends with her ex. At the same time, okay, maybe I don't know. May maybe maybe they're good friends, right? I never know. You never know. I'm trying not to be judgmental here. But I didn't realize this how weird the situation was going to really be. [ __ ] the sun's kind of blazing me today. Because we arrived to the house, right?
2:21 And somebody opens the door and it's [music] the girl. And I witness the girl and my mate Rick kind of like hug each other and be like, "Oh my god, it's been so long. You know, I I really missed you." Really weird, right? But then it gets weirder. Because I see her boyfriend, her actual boyfriend, walk up behind come up to greet us as well. And I'm just thinking in my mind, this has got to be just some wholesome interaction right here, right? This is just some wholesome gathering, right? I'm just a guest here. I appreciate you inviting me, guys. Thank you. Oh, jeez. Because the next thing you know, we move to the bedroom, right? I think this was I don't know. I think it I think it was her mom's bedroom or something. Oh, the the boyfriend's the mom's bedroom,
3:08 right? Because this was the boyfriend's parents' house, right? And we're pretty much just talking among each other like we're all sitting on the bed just talking among each other. And in this moment, you know, it's kind of nice, right? Because it's like, "Shit, I feel socially included. I'm in a social group for once. This doesn't feel too bad." But then my mate Rick says to the boyfriend, "Hey, bro, you should show Manish your you know, your Apex your Apex Legends rank." Because my mate Rick knew that I played the game Apex Legends, which is like a battle royale shooter. And the boyfriend happened to be really good at this game, right? Like a top player. And so he goes, "Yeah. Oh, yeah, [ __ ] Yeah, like I'll I'll show you my games, Manish." And so he pretty much takes me to the next room, to his actual room, which was across the house away and left
3:54 Rick with his girlfriend, right? And again, I'm not thinking too much of this. The little that I know about Rick had some devious plan in his mind. I'm pretty much in in the the boyfriend's room with him and he's showing me his like Apex Legends um he was like an Apex predator at this game, right? Which was like the top highest rank and I'm super impressed and [ __ ] It's like wow, like [ __ ] like congrats, bro. You actually go to this game and he's actually a pretty nice guy like I couldn't really point anything weird about him. He's just like a normal guy to me, right? Until something very funny happens, bro. Because he he well he alt-tabs out of the game, right? I think it's alt-tab or is it alt-enter? Well, where you can see
4:40 like the the multiple tabs that you have open, right? So, he he holds alt-tab and guess what I see for like a split second bro. I see p h >> [snorts] >> Yeah, you know exactly what that is. And I see for a split second and my my initial reaction, right? Is to kind of laugh. Like I don't know about you, bro, but like when I was in high school and [ __ ] me and the boys would kind of like joke around. We were just weird like that, but I'm like like >> [music] >> bro, I just saw like the porn video you were you [ __ ] watching, bro. And I'm expecting him to have like a like a response like a normal response, right? Like Oh [ __ ] Whoops. Whoops. My bad. But no, no, no, no. He responds in a very very odd way.
5:26 He kind of just goes quiet, right? And he doesn't really acknowledge what I had said. Which is really like weird, right? It's just kind of odd behavior coming from another guy, right? And I'm like wondering like why is he acting this Why is he acting this way? I mean sure, it's embarrassing, but like come on, we've all been there. I mean, we all all catch each other slipping, right? But and then it just clocks in my mind. Oh my god, wait. That's right. He literally has a girlfriend. And his girlfriend's in the other [ __ ] room. Oh. Yeah, that changes this whole equation,
6:11 doesn't it? And then I just think about the fact that bro, my mate, Rick, and this guy's girlfriend are in the room together alone. No, no, no, no. Surely nothing's happening. No, nothing nothing's going to be happening. No, there's no way. That's At least that's what I'm telling myself. Uh but before I tell you how this story continues, my bro, I ask if you would please subscribe to the channel. Seriously, my bro, it helps me in ways you can't possibly imagine. I'm hoping we can hit 400k by the end of 2 months from now. I think that would absolutely mean the world to me. It's [music] the what what keeps me going, all right? So, appreciate you, yeah? Get back to the story, though.
6:57 So, >> [sighs] >> 30 minutes go past and [music] I don't really acknowledge the porn thing at all anymore. When it reached 8:00 p.m., so we were probably alone for like an hour. The bro's mom comes into the room. And she goes, "Hey, um like sweetheart, can you help me uh you know, pick up the groceries or whatever?" Right? It was literally 8:00 p.m. as well. It's like, who the [ __ ] does the groceries at 8:00 p.m.? But anyways, the the boyfriend says yes, and like they leave the house. I'm left there alone. I just realized what the time is. Like, it's 8:00 p.m. now. [ __ ] like my curfew is up as well. Like, I should have been at home by now. Like, my mom is texting me. Oh my gosh, like I need to go now. I'm just thinking in my mind, okay, I'm going to go tell my mate, Rick, that I need to get going, right? And so I go back to their room,
7:43 right? I open the door and nothing's different at all. Looks completely normal. And so I go ahead and ask Rick. I'll tell Rick, "Hey bro, like super sorry. Like my mom's like shouting at me. Wanted me to go back. And I don't want to be a want to be a nuisance to you, my bro. So I'm just going to take the bus home, right?" And Rick says this to me. "I appreciate you." Mhm. Appreciate me for what? For taking the bus back? Kind of weird. But okay, whatever. You know, laters. I didn't really give that too much thought what he said, right? And I'm taking the bus back home, where I start to think about that a little bit more. I'm
8:28 wondering, wait, why did he say, "I appreciate you?" Like what? Okay, maybe he appreciates me for coming with him, right? Oh, yeah, that's probably it. Look. [ __ ] me, I was so naive and stupid, bro. Because a few days in the passing, right? Or maybe even a week passes. And I kind of forget that this whole thing even happened. Like I didn't really grab the the boyfriend's number. I mean, not number, [ __ ] his Instagram or anything. I didn't really converse with anybody else. Until maybe about a 1 week passes. And guess what, bro? I see Rick in the gym. Again. But this time he he's got this face on his face. This this almost like I don't know, like a devilish type of really like massive grin on his face,
9:15 right? Like he wants to tell me something devilish. And he comes up to me and goes, "Bro, Maneesh, you have like you're not going to believe what happened with me and my ex." And I'm just thinking in my mind, like what is this going to be? Like maybe okay, maybe you two had like a deep conversation about your past mistakes together. Maybe you guys like re-mended that. Or wait, what if she like secretly confessed that she has feelings for you still? Nah, that would be too much. That would be way too much. What is it, bro? When you left, we [ __ ] >> [snorts] >> And I just think he's joking.
10:01 There's no way. I genuinely think he's joking. But the look on his face is not telling me he's joking. All right. You know, you you can just kind of tell when somebody's not not lying. >> [snorts] >> And I don't even know what to feel. You know what I'm saying? I'm just thinking to myself like how can that's not even possible, bro. Like how like why You can't even How's that possible? And that's when it hits me. The reason Rick invited me to this gathering was so he could kind of use me as a decoy, right? Just to get back with his ex.
10:49 And I'll be honest with you, bro. It I don't really have the balls or the self-esteem or the confidence to really like confront him about it or anything. Not at the time at least. In fact, I actually I kind of feel I kind of think he's cool. Because of what he did. You know, I got I got I kind of think like [ __ ] I I actually start like laughing with him. He's like, "Bro, that's that's crazy. Like I can't believe you did that, right? Like holy [ __ ] that's crazy, bro." And I do I didn't realize how bad and how [ __ ] up this really was. And this isn't even the worst part. Because he continues the story and he goes, "And then guess what happened, bro? So like when the boyfriend came back from shopping with uh, his mom, I literally see like her and her and the boyfriend like kiss each other on the
11:36 lips with my residue still in her mouth. >> [snorts] >> He came in his mouth. And I know you probably think of this as like some funny story right now. And I really don't blame you, bro, cuz, you know, at the time I was laughing as well. I was laughing along with Rick. But this isn't funny. This isn't [ __ ] funny, bro. Bro, I'm not like these other YouTubers who would just end the entertaining story here and just, you know, do it for the views. No, [ __ ] that. I don't give a [ __ ] about the views. Yes, this story is crazy and it's entertaining and it's [ __ ] up. People don't see the underlying deep problem and issue here, bro. Because
12:21 like I'm driving back home after what Rick had told me, right? Just thinking about it. And like the realization just hits me. The brutal realization that, yeah, I mean, the fact that I saw him have like the porn tab open, it was like a ticking time bomb waiting to happen, right? And I'm not saying that porn [music] itself is the the issue that his girlfriend cheated on him, right? I'm not saying that cuz that would be kind of stupid, right? But what [music] does it indicate? What does it indicate? It indicates a man that would let his own girlfriend be in a room with another guy. Not just another guy, but her ex. And I'm just starting to realize and think about Rick's actions, right? And what he actually did.
13:07 And I realized just how [ __ ] up it really was, what he had done. Like no man should ever do that to somebody else's girlfriend, you know what I'm saying? But like, can I really blame him or should I blame the boyfriend for being weak? And honestly, I I didn't really know at the time. Because I'll be honest with you, at the time I was also heavily addicted to this stuff, heavily. I would watch it [ __ ] every single day but it through two three times a day. I was addicted to this [ __ ] like Rick [music] was. So I was in no place to judge him whatsoever, right? But after witnessing a [ __ ] up event like this and also how much porn was ruining my own life as well, making me feel this like this level of like invisibility, always feeling like the second option, always
13:52 getting rejected by every girl that spoke to me. [ __ ] You know what I'm saying? Like I knew for a fact I needed to cut this out of my life. And you know, I've told this story a lot on this channel, so I'm not going to repeat it for you guys too much cuz you know, I don't want to bore you. About 1 year after this happens, I've completely cut out porn from my life. Gone. Never went back to it ever again. And I got to tell you, bro, it's so much so much better on the other side because for once I I didn't feel ugly. I didn't feel unattractive to women. Uh I'm not I'm not telling you this to brag. I'm just telling you this because I know what so many of us guys are suffering with nowadays. I know how much of a grip this has on us. And again, I'm not saying that porn itself is the pure reason why you are not attracting any good woman into your
14:38 life. I'm not saying that, right? Cuz it's not true. It is not true. But just think about this. Would your dream genuine future wife, your 10 out of 10 girl, literally 10 out of 10 in looks, personality, everything that you genuinely desire, a girl that would make your mother just proud right? She's out there for you, bro. Would this girl genuinely, from the bottom of her heart, want you to be watching porn right now? No. So it's time to stop. I don't want to see you settling, bro. I don't want to see you settling for less.
15:23 For a girl that isn't up to your standard. [ __ ] that [ __ ] I know what you want deep down. All right. I know what you want. You want to feel loved. You want to feel desired by the right woman. All of us guys do. That's what porn does to us. It makes us settle. It gives us this feeling of love. But it's actually lust dressed as love. So this is your sign to become the best man that you can possibly be. It all starts with being and feeling more attractive. Once you feel more attractive, you feel a lot better about yourself. And you won't be resorting to these [ __ ] you know, websites and [ __ ] Because at that point, bro, you'll have
16:09 so much respect for yourself that even the thought of [ __ ] like entering PH on your phone gives you so much disrespect to your character and your soul that you'll just be simply disgusted. You'll never even open it ever again in your life. You have my word on this. If you do want the next step after watching this video and you want help directly from me, check out my private community.
